Section 12:Inland Private Circuits

Part 5:Service to Other Administrators


Subpart 5:Kiloline N Digital Services to Republic of Ireland (a), the Channel Islands (b), Isle of Man (c) & Kingston Upon Hull (d)

- Analogue and KiloLine Circuits to Jersey were FULLY WITHDRAWN from 31 December 2008. (b)

- Analogue and KiloLine Circuits to the Isle of Man were FULLY WITHDRAWN from 31 December 2007(c)

Dedicated digital links offering a point to point service for a customer's exclusive use. KiloLine N provides speeds of 128kbit/s to 1024kbit/s* in 64kbits increments. Key features include high quality transmission, performance and reliability.

*The following Kiloline N speeds have been withdrawn from new supply - 192kbit/s, 320kbit/s, 384kbit/s, 448kbit/s, 576kbit/s, 640kbit/s, 704kbit/s, 768kbit/s, 832kbits, 896kbit/s, 960kbit/s and 1024kbit/s.

KiloLine N can be provided in 2 ways:

i Over a dedicated local access link (Standard)

- Prices comprise a charge for 1 local end plus a main link

ii Over a KiloStream N Bearer System

- Prices comprise a charge for the KiloStream N Bearer, 1 local end plus a main link

There are three termination options to deliver KiloLine N service:

(i)individual KiloStream N termination or

(ii)KiloStream N Aggregate Interface (ITU-T-G. 703/4)

(iii)MultiStream

Eligibility

Any BT customer who has the need to link premises under BT's jurisdiction to premises within the jurisdiction of the designated Other Administration (OA).

Pricing Information

All prices quoted are shown exclusive of VAT.

Charges for KiloLine N services to OA's are for the UK Portion of the circuit only and constitute a Local End component plus a Main Link component to the designated charging point and includes the line terminating units at the BT end. Charges relating to the distant portion of the circuit will also apply.

Measurements are based on the straight line distance between the KiloLine serving exchange and the appropriate charge point.

Connection Charge

Charges for infrastructure over and above standard requirements are given in Section 45 Part 1 These charges include work on internal trunking & traywork; breaking through walls; additional poles, ducts and cables; radio charges and miscellaneous non-standard or specially requested items. Site connection fees are required where 2Mbit/s line plant is required to provide service. As such connection charges are subject to site survey. Details of the Site connection fees applicable are contained in Section 12 Part 4 These charges are in addition to those quoted below.

KiloLine N (Standard):

KiloLine N 128kbit/s and 256kbit/s - £1250.00(d)

KiloLine N 512kbit/s - £1500.00(d)

For each KiloLine N circuit end routed over KiloStream N Bearer a connection charge of £1000.00 applies.

For KiloLine N (Bearer System) See Part 3 for Bearer charges.

As of 28 October 1997, KiloStream Bearers are no longer available for new supply and KiloStream Plus and KiloStream N Bearer circuits can only be provided to fill excess capacity on existing bearers. The alternative is KiloStream DDO (See Part of this Section).

Change of Interface Options

Conversion from KiloStream N and KiloStream N Bearer individual provision to KiloStream N Aggregate Interface (ITU-T- G703/4) can be carried out for a single payment charge of £1635.00.

This charge covers the cost of changing to aggregate interface and reconnecting the associated KiloLine N circuits to that specific aggregate interface, if carried out at the same time. Moving circuits to or from the associated KiloStream Bearer on other occasions will incur the associated Re-termination charge.

Termination of circuits/channels to either KiloStream Aggregate Interface (ITU-T-G. 703/4) or to individual terminations as required by the customer can be carried out for a single payment charge of £109.00.

If this work is not done at the same time as the conversion to KiloStream N Aggregate Interface, a visit charge may be applicable in addition (see Section 15, Part 7).

Where there is no existing usable line plant there is an additional charge for connection of line plant. For details on the charges raised please refer to Section 12 Part 4 detailing Singleton and Multiple site connection fees.

Customers wishing to change from KiloStream Aggregate Interface to individual circuit terminations will be required to pay the additional KiloStream Bearer connection charge and the connection charge for each KiloStream circuit routed over the KiloStream Bearer.

Upgrade of 2mbit/S Delivery Interface Presentation

The charge for Upgrade of 75 Ohm unbalanced ITU-T-G703/4 (BNC) to 120 Ohm balanced ITU-T-G703/4 (RJ45) interface per 2Mbit/s end is £325.00.

NBFor customers with newer G703/4 equipment who require upgrading by software changes only, Timescale rates will apply instead (see Section 15, Part 7)

Contract Options

  • All KiloLine N customers may opt to pay their connection charge in 3 annual instalments. The 3 instalments are calculated as follows:
  • Connection Charge X 0.388
  • If a customer terminates service prior to paying all 3 instalments, the customer will pay BT any outstanding connection charges.

Discount Contracts

BT offers a range of discount optionsoption based on length of commitment (Term) number of eligible circuits (Pool) and bandwidthCommitted (DDO)Spend (See Part 7 of this Section). Where more than one discount is applied to a circuit the effect is to multiply the discount percentages together, e.g. a Pool contract discount of [Price] and a DDO discount of [Price] will give an overall discount of [Price] .

Migration to NetStream

NetStream Enterprise or NetStream Corporate is available to customers. Please refer to Section 12Part 7of this Price List for details of NetStream Services.

Shift Charges

For Internal Shift Charge per end Network Timescale rates apply (see Section 15)

The External Shift Charge for the BT end of the KiloLine N 128kbit/s or 256kbit/s circuit is £1250.00and £1500.00 for KiloLine N 512kbit/s (d). It is not permitted to externally shift KiloLine N circuits of any other speed.

For shift charges for KiloStream Bearer see Part 3

Re-grading

Change of speed will incur a charge of £400. A circuit may only be re-graded to operate at 128kbit/s, 256kbit/s or 512kbit/s.

NB:

i) Circuit rentals will be re-calculated as appropriate following the external shift or re-grade. Shifts and re-grades are allowed at any time, including during the minimum period.

ii) Rentals for fixed Price Contracts will be re-calculated at the rates applicable when the contract was originally signed. Alternatively, the customer can opt to be charged at the prevailing rates if these are lower. In circumstances when customers on Fixed Price Contracts have already requested to pay the prevailing annual rental price, their rentals will be re-calculated at those prices which will be most beneficial to them, i.e. the original contract price inclusive of the appropriate discounts or the prevailing price for the remainder of the fixed term of the contract. After any shift or re-grade, the original fixed price terms will continue to apply.

Conditions

Service is provided under BT's "Conditions for Private Services"

All KiloLine N services have a 12 month minimum rental period.

Additional Information

When opting for KiloStream N Aggregate Interface, customers are advised to modify their apparatus to prevent potential disruptions to service during maintenance or when circuits are added/removed on their system.

There may be some constraints on the amount of circuits routed over one KiloStream N Bearer.

Additional charges may apply depending upon the exact circumstances or special customer requirements, e.g. special duct provision, added security, unusual or remote sites or service provision in advance of BT's planned digital coverage.
